You Might Be a Liberal If...
10 findings on the party in your mind.
You may be a liberal if...you were the Tracy Flick of your nursery school. Confident, dominating preschoolers grow into liberals, while fearful and easily victimized tots turn conservative.
You may be a conservative if...you alphabetize your underwear drawer. Conservatives are more likely to have neat and tidy rooms, and liberals messy ones.
You may be a liberal if...you're up all night. 28% of liberals have insomnia, compared with 16% of conservatives.
You may be a conservative if...you're a woman who craves chocolate chip cookies. Liberal ladies prefer theirs fruit filled.
You may be a liberal if...you're in the mood for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie-Dough Cheesecake. Liberals' chain eateries of choice are the Cheesecake Factory, Panera Bread, and Starbucks, while conservatives dine at Hardee's and Fuddruckers.
You may be a conservative if...you're happy with tap water. Domino's Pizza claims Republican customers are less likely to order beverages.
You may be a liberal if...you're too lazy to walk to the pizza place. The Domino's survey found that Democrats rely on delivery more than Republicans.
You may be a conservative if...you have a son. Parents of boys are more likely to be conservative than parents of girls.
You may be a liberal if...you possess Obama-like calm. When shown a picture of a spider on a human face, most conservatives jump in fright; liberals react roughly the same as when they're shown a picture of a bunny.
You may be a conservative if...your dreams are chaste. Nearly half of liberals report having erotic dreams; only 38% of conservatives admit to it. (This was before Sarah Palin.)

Is this what passes for journalism.
Also, putting people into boxes will not do anyone a favour.
WAIT A MINUTE:
isn't DOMINO'S the same doofuses who run that whacked out ÜberXian finishing school in Florida???
The Domino's Effect: http://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2000/04/ifc.html
By Paul Sweeney, April 15, 2000
"Egypt's El Gouna resort was partially funded by the World Bank's IFC division.
NEWS: The International Finance Corporation -- a little-known arm of the World Bank -- is supposed to fight global poverty, but instead is pouring millions into luxury hotels and Domino's Pizza franchises."

"... chastity fashion, paintball theology, golf-course mansions, and a Vatican-approved college: Domino's pizza billionaire Tom Monaghan builds a city on a swamp"
just say'n KNOW YOUR SOURCES & not just the *artesian* sort...
I'm reminded of a fabulous 'bottled water/BigOil/BigSugar' protest at the Montreal Jazz Festival one summer: about 2am, in an ancient stone square, hundreds of us waded knee-deep in the gleaming surreal mess that was *thousands* of water bottles complied from the day's masses of audience in the scorching heat...
the question remains: WHERE DID OUR PUBLIC WATER FOUNTAINS GO? I suspect it was these industries capitalizing on hepatitis & AIDS paranoia & selling 'bottle water franchises' to the municipalities...
Spread Love, not corporate dependence...

Tap Water is a Sign,
Yup, you got it, that is the very same guy, the Tom Monohan (former owner of Dominos Pizza) who is also aligned with Erik Prince of Blackwater fame, GWB and all of the other criminals who have been the predators of the past eight years.
Most likely they are getting the 800 FEMA prisons ready for us American liberals at this moment. The Pope has deemed it to be so.
You better stay in Canada where it is safe, for now. Those uber Xtian doofuses will be in Canada in the near future, if we cannot stop them here.
Their Theo-Fascism will put us all in gulags, if we don't stop them, here and now. If Obama-Biden cannot stop them we will get Sarah Palin(Pentecostal) and Jeb Bush(Catholic) in the 2012 general election.
As a 65 yr old Catholic I abhor what these people are doing to what remains of our democracy, or democratic republic, if you prefer. We have been subjected to their mob rule over the past eight years and we are all the worse for it, as the state of our nation now reflects.
Patton,
This is real journalism. These findings are based on two university studies that used mri scans to arrive at these conclusions.
IOW, we liberals really do think differently from the Cons, Neocons and the Theocons. If we do not stop them they will persecute and punish us, just as they are now killing Iraqis for their oil.
It seems to me that what MOST separates "so called" Conservatives from Liberals is the ability to gather independent information and form your OWN opinion based on "FACTS & REALITIES" rather than tuning-in to a radio show to get a totally warped viewpoint and outright LIES provided by someone who is paid MILLIONS of dollars to tell you what to think. These mindless "sheep" are nothing more than tools for the people who would use them for political advancement while serving the Rich & Powerful "financial slave-masters" who are laughing all the way to the bank................the jokes on you! None are so blind as those who refuse to see. Duh.
BE A SUCKER FOR THE RICH..........VOTE CONSERVATIVE!
Funny I am messy choclate chip eating, tap water drinking,target of manny bullies. I do not frequent Cheesecake Factory, Panera Bread, and Starbucks. I wold eat at Hardees but there are none near me. Yet I am a died in the wool, bleeding heart liberal...go figure..
mother jones = supermarket checkout line quality journalism now? next week let's have recipes for apple brown betty and cut-out figurines!
Why is a greasy chain eatery collecting information on the political affiliations of it's customer base?
Yeah that Obama-like calm liberals posses is just the result of dead brain cells.
Dodo birds also showed little reaction to different stimuli.
a funny read.. but every one of them was the opposite for me. I'm very liberal, was a very introverted and fearful child, love to be tidy and organized, love chocolate chip cookies (and despise fruit filled ones), ate hardees curly fries every day that I was pregnant,know that water and walking is good for you, have a son, would squirm like crazy if i saw a spider on someone's face, and.. okay.. i do have erotic drams.. but conservatives do too.. they're just too prudish to admit it.
i mean.. you're basically saying liberals are lazy slobs. shame on you.
Wow...so I guess we could tell you that the Muslim terrorists are really conservative Christians and I bet you would sign right up to fight?
Wow! Did y'all know that households that subscribe to local newspapers produce children who attain better grades in school?
But do those kids grow up knowing how to 'critically' read those newspapers?
How about asking "golly gee, what is different from households who can AFFORD a daily newspaper and households who CAN NOT AFFORD a daily paper?"
Just for starters. That might begin to explain the Domino's statistics. I read "Conservatives too damn poor to pay for beverages and delivery"...and that got me wondering....
Ms. Butler obviously grew up in a house where a local paper was delivered. It was there that she learned how to gather drivel and present it to us (readers) as a 'story'. No real analysis, no real story. Nothing but Us vs. Them crap.
Interesting. It is always fun to see which choices which people are making. Then, of course, comes the really good part: WHY does someone decide as they do?
In the world if academic medicine, we always stress that you cannot infer CAUSATION from CORRELATION. I seriously question whether it is possible to make any valid conclusions about people's personalities from the
data in those studies.
Geez, I THOUGHT I was a Liberal, but apparently I'm wrong. Who knew?
this could hardly be sillier!
JNH88KR, we think alike on conservatives and their talk show. Conservatives tune to Rush Limbaugh and others to be told what to think. Liberals, or any more thoughtful people, read the newspapers, access reliable Internet sites, and watch news on TV that are balanced in their reporting. We prefer to come to our own conclusions on issues, not to be told what to conclude. This is likely why so many liberal talk shows fail.
Indeed, my far-right ultra-conservative friend, won't even tell me what hos sources of information are, thinks MoJo folks are a bunch of commies, and doesn't think the NY Times is the newspaper of record. Of course, the NY Times is as close to the newspaper of record as we have. But if some information does not comport with his biases he simply disregards it. This friend of mine is actually a very nice fellow, but has some very nutty ideas that he has picked up from sources that he is apparently ashamed to divulge. I've told him my many sources of information! What can you do when your dealing with closed minds?
I was once a lefty, but I still smoke pot,don't trust cops that much and I drink bottled water. (a bad thing to do for the earth so I'm told. I do have three boys, and have gotten "lucky" with the women a lot more then most of you here! :-}
Are all these responders serious? Wasn't the whole idea of the piece cute entertainment?
WOW......."Koyaanisqatsi"!
You have managed to display one of the MOST frequent differences between "progressives" and "butt-thinkers"
Your Screen-name shows a creative intellect that is usually absent from right-wing knuckle draggers. My "intellectual curiosity"(something totally lacking in the average Repukelican)got the best of me, and I googled "koyaanisqatsi" to find out if it had any significance. The results were amazing! I have discovered a new film(scored by Philip Glass no less), found out that koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi word meaning "crazy life", and that this film is part of a Trilogy! Thanks for the cool tip. You're a gentleman and a scholar!
If G. W. Bush had an OUNCE of intellectual curiosity, maybe we wouldn't have such a mess to clean-up after him. Oh, wait.............with intellectual curiosity also comes "intellectual honesty". Something else he is totally lacking in!
P.S.- The reference to "crazy life" reminds me of one of my favorite songs by a band named Toad The Wet Sprocket called "Crazy Life". If you get a chance, check it out.........it's a beautiful tune.
Conservatives sleep better because they are either drunk or brain dead. After all they gave us Bush and Cheney[twice]. And they still have never apologized
Erleichda, people. You might be an uptight liberal if... And that Domino's information is important- your pizzas could be bugged.
What does political views have to do with where you eat? This is stupid as hell and not even vaguely funny. And I'm not even conservative
Shucks-here I thought liberals were people without money and conservatives were people with money!
Concerning conservatives and pizza delivery. Conservatives are more likely to live in rural area where pizza service is not available.
I didn't know that Alaska had trailer parks until Sarah Palin came along with her knocked up underage daughter with her drug addict boyfriend, now fiance. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MUST HAVE CONDUCTED THE MOST EXTENSIVE SEARCH OF TRAILER PARKS IN WORLD HISTORY TO FIND Sarah Palin. Using McCarthyism as my as my model it could be construed that Bristol Palin may have used drugs since her boyfriend/fiance seems too. His drug of choice enhances female libido, I've heard.
everyone takes this [deleted] too seriously. it's good for a laugh, maybe a little head-scratching, but not much else.
Quizzes that try to pigeonhole people are the hobgoblin of little mines.
Patton, I don't like the cut of your jib. There is nothing wrong with putting people in categories (or boxes if you prefer).
In today's world, it's important to quickly identify and categorize as much as possible in order to avoid confusion and chaos.
This is precisely what I was referring to earlier........... one person chooses an enlightening screen-name like "koyaanisqatsi" and another chooses a vulgar and classless name like "HarryNads". I wonder what the Party Affiliation is? Talk about perpetuating a stereotype!
Mr. H. Nads is a perfect example of the old adage that states how it is "better to remain silent and let people question your intellect than to open your mouth and leave NO doubt".
There is no "confusion" about which part of that refers to Harry and the only "chaos" seems to be in his narrow mind.
Get a grip........get a life...........and grow-up!
Hey, I was easily victimed as a tot and I don't order Domino's, Damn, I'm such a screw up! I have to change my societal outlooks.
I love your posted quotes Blueberry Pick'n.
Hey, when did Democrat's become synonamous with Liberal???
I have to agree with most postings here. There is a fundamental difference in though processes. Though you can't say it's about intelligence. Some of the smartest people are neocon/neolibs.
It's more of a point of compassion and empathy. Those of us who can see life from other peoples view points and care about their suffering want a just and equal world. I've found that most "conservatives" either lack compassion and empathy or are willing to override them with beliefs in such things as religion or nationalism.
Liberals are willing to put others as at least a significant considerance in their lives while conservatives are willing to sacrifice others to their beliefs. I pray for them constantly. We could have such a beautiful world if we took care of each other.
yeah, this survey just reminded me of the electoral map- (Majority of) Liberals (democrats) live in cities and Conservatives do not.
Article, Slightly funny. The comments slightly moreso.
I have no idea if there is a Fudruckers anywhere near me, but I can see about a thousand Starbucks from my window....
I'm a liberal so liberal I call myself a progressive. On your test I end up conservative. You know why? Your test is actually a class test. I grew up on Fuddruckers and would rather eat there then waltz into a Starbucks any day. I don't need or want that kind of pretentiousness for a cup of coffee. I like chocolate chip cookies bc that's what my mom and I made together. Going out to a restaurant, including Dominos, was a big treat, so why would I order delivery? And finally, being a "victim" in school is part of what made me so passionate for social justice as an adult.
Way to reinforce the idea that conservatives are down to earth and liberals are elites with no contact with the real world. I agree with Patton, putting people into boxes doesn't help at all...
Liberals cant sleep well at night.
This makes sense, living in a world with so many conservatives.
There are more democrats in densely populated areas, so of course they'll be more Domino's customers. How many Domino's are there in rural Texas?
These are the kind of improper correlations that give "facts" a bad name.
As a side note, I've always felt that there are more Democrats in urban areas because you actually have to interact with other people, so you consider their needs a little more in your politics. That's not a fact, just an opinion. Republicans are not bad people, they're just don't have enough life experience to make good judgements.
your generalities are sooo off base it's beyond merit to even address it.
signed, a conservative who eats like a libertarian
I don't recall having to declare my party affiliation when I went into domino's pizza.
This is completely stupid and not even close to accurate.
bobr90, can you suggest the proper shape for a tin foil hat? do you use the pyramid style, or do you prefer the shullcap style?
What a load of garbage. The easiest way to determine if you are a Republican or a Democrat is this: If you base your decisions on emotion and allow your politicians to tell you what to think, you probably belong to one of those two parties. If you make rational decisions and think for yourself, you are probably an Independent.
Oh. My. God.
This is so retarded. All of them, but especially this: "You may be a conservative if...you have a son. Parents of boys are more likely to be conservative than parents of girls."
You do know that this is statistically impossible since the gender of the offspring of any couple is decided purely randomly (there is exactly a 50% chance of XX and 50% XY).
Is this post supposed to be stupid? I hope so.
#11
You forgot #11 - you might be a liberal if you use a sad piece of journalism like this to trot out some tired repetitive insults aimed at conservatives and a couple rants about Bush/Cheney. Extra points given if you manage to congratulate other liberals for their 'open-mindedness' and intelligence while berating conservatives as sheep unable to think for themselves. Fun fact: you're also an idiot. Incidentally, lets see who really actually listens to opposing viewpoints:
